front end problems....

My car is basically falling apart, i have no idea what is wrong with it. I think i am leaking some power steering fluid from the passenger side, i think the dust boot is ripped. However there are a few more things im having troubles with. Whever i accelerate i hear a constant squeak/creeking noise coming from the passenger side. Also Whenever i take right or left hand turns, i hear a grinding noise, it sounds like the dust shield but it is not. If anyone can help i can appreciate it. I also pulled the motor last winter and did a full fe-k motor swap and I also have 2 brand new axles.

I am not an expert by any mean so take my advice with a grain of salt.

For the squeaking noise from the passenger side, have you checked the serpentine belts?

With a PS leak, I would check you LCA bushing- oils tends to brake the rubber down. The noise that ur getting when turning, does it at time come with a clunk sound? if so check your strut bearing. While your down there check you endlink bushings.-->good luck

its more of a grinding noise than a clunk. I was thinking the turning issue is possible a tie rod.
